We study the effectiveness of traditional regression approaches in forecasting crime occurrences in Portland, Oregon. We divide the area of interest into equally spaced cells and investigate the spatial autocorrelation between the crime occurrence rates of neighboring cells. We also attempt to use neighboring cells' information in the regression models along with the cell's own time series to enhance the forecast results. Our results show that regression is a promising method that outperforms a moving window averaging method, especially when the future horizon to be predicted increases. However, addition of neighborhood cells decreased the quality of predictions, suggesting that spatial correlation in crime is more complex than geographical neighborhood. We also explore a possibility of connection of criminal activities and popularity of crime incidents in Portland on the Web, and discuss future directions we will take to improve crime prediction.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128706286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we introduce a general model of spatiotemporal evolution of an arbitrary number of ideas in social media. As the main theoretical contribution, we map user messages into a latent hidden field and derive a multidimensional social signal that encapsulates an arbitrary number of ideas. We then analyze the distance (in time and space) of individual ideas when compared to a general stream of ideas, thus allowing the characterization of the spatiotemporal behavior of individual idea trajectories. Finally, using Twitter data, we observe that the spatiotemporal behavior of ideas is contents dependent, that is, different ideas evolve differently in time and space. Consequently, we identify four major patterns of behavior of ideas in space (local vs. global) and time (rare vs. pervasive), which can be used to understand the spatiotemporal nature social media dynamics.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116640195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, as with any longitudinal human studies project, data quality problems arise from student's waning compliance to the study. While incentive mechanisms may be employed to boost student compliance, such systems may not encourage all participants in the same manner. This paper coupled student's compliance rates with other personal data collected via Fitbits, smartphones, and surveys. Machine learning algorithms were then employed to explore factors that influence compliance. With such insight, universities may target groups in their studies who are more likely to become non-compliant and implement preventative strategies such as tailoring their incentive mechanisms to accommodate a diverse population. In doing so, data quality problems stemming from failing compliance can be minimized.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116871384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RFID technology and participatory sensing based approaches have offered solutions but often their adoption was limited due to the high hardware costs or low active participation problem. With the introduction of iBeacon technology and smartphones having BLE capability, tracking such objects has become easier and cost-effective. Objects of care are labeled by attaching to them affordable iBeacon tags, and smartphones in the proximity of these tags sense their presence opportunistically through the applications running in the background. In this paper, we study the tracking of lost objects through the collaboration among users. We analyze the visit patterns of users at the same locations and develop a metric that quantifies for each user the potential benefit of others in terms of their capability of finding that user's lost objects. Depending on the predicted benefits, each user's preference list of other users is formed and then utilized to identify the space buddies who can best track her lost items. The identification is based on the adaption of the solution to the roommate matching problem. We apply the proposed system to two different location based social network datasets and show its effectiveness in different settings.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114719859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The success of a participatory sensing application is often measured in terms of the number of users participating. In most cases, an individual's eagerness to participate depends on the group of users who already participate. For instance, when users share data with their peers in a social network, the engagement of an individual depends on its peers. Such engagement rules have been studied in the context of social networks using the concept of k-core, which assumes that participation is determined solely by network topology. However, in participatory sensing, engagement rules must also consider user heterogeneity, such as differences in sensing capabilities and physical location. To account for heterogeneity, we introduce the concept of (r, s)-core to model the set of participating users. We formulate the problem of maximizing the size of the (r, s)-core using 1) anchor users, who are incentivized to participate regardless of their peers, and by 2) assigning capabilities to users. Since these problems are computationally challenging, we study heuristic algorithms for solving them. Based on real-world social networks as well as random graphs, we provide numerical results showing significant improvement compared to random selection of anchor nodes and label assignments.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133694190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has resulted in an abundance of sensor data gathered over long periods of time. Gaining meaningful insights from such massive amounts of spatio-temporal data accumulated by several disparate sources is often a challenge for organizations. Identifying demographics of mobile phone users by telecommunication providers is one such example. Demographic information plays a very significant role in targeting online advertisements to focused user groups by gaining insights about userfis mobility patterns. However, in practice, demographic information such as age and gender are mostly unavailable to app developers for open access due to privacy concerns. In this paper, we try to address the gap of how to enrich location data with demographics, which could be valuable for app developers. In our study, we use a machine learning approach to predict the gender and age of mobile phone users from a set of 3,252,950 anonymised GPS trajectories with 60,865 unique devices using a predictive model which is based upon the concept of Geohashes. We study to what extent usersfi demographics could be inferred from their frequently visited locations by encoding by formulating a multi-level classification algorithm to find the most frequently visited Geohashes and associating them with nearest points of interests which would enable predicting age-group and gender of the users who prefer to visit a specific location in a sequential manner. Experiments are conducted on a real dataset of mobile phone users collected and shared by a telecommunication provider. Th The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve mean prediction accuracy scores of 71.62% and 96.75% for predicting gender and age groups of the users respectively.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114569955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the workers report quantized confidence levels when they are able to submit definitive answers. We present an aggregation approach using a weighted majority voting rule, where each worker's response is assigned an optimized weight to maximize crowd's classification performance. We obtain a couterintuitive result that the classification performance does not benefit from workers reporting quantized confidence.

This promises to provide a multitude of benefits to the users, for example in the management of natural disasters or in community empowerment. However, current social sensing services depend on Internet connectivity since the services are deployed on central Cloud platforms. In many circumstances, Internet connectivity is constrained, for instance when a natural disaster causes Internet outages or when people do not have Internet access due to economical reasons. In this paper, we propose the emerging Fog Computing infrastructure to become a key-enabler of social sensing services in situations of constrained Internet connectivity. To this end, we develop a generic architecture and API of Fog-enabled social sensing services. We exemplify the usage of the proposed social sensing architecture on a number of concrete use cases from two different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":360957,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Social Sensing","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115276741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
